Benefits of energy management

Business benefits

Companies with energy management programmes generally achieve far greater savings than those without, because they review and manage energy use across the whole organisation, on an ongoing basis. The savings go straight to your bottom line which can free up your capital for other things like business development.

Reduce costs

Most organisations can reduce their energy costs by at least 20%. You can often save 10% on energy costs for little or no up-front cost, while an energy management programme can help you to cut costs by up to a third.

Enhance your brand

Running an energy-efficient operation and using renewable energy can improve relationships with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders, who may expect their suppliers to prove their environmental credentials.

Improve performance

Environmental benefits

Energy efficiency is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Switching to renewable energy can help you to reduce emissions even further.

The good news is you can generally save money (for example, with lower fuel costs) when you reduce your carbon footprint.

Greenhouse gases are gases that contribute to climate change, with carbon dioxide being the most prevalent of these. The carbon footprint of your business is the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that your business produces. Some businesses have larger carbon footprints than others because of the amount of fossil fuels they use, the way they deal with waste and the scale of their operations.
